Forum Art Gallery is excited to present in 2010 an exhibition of Sisir Sahana's sculptures in glass entitled 'Herbs Within.'This follows his highly successful exhibition in 2007, titled 'Frozen Unfrozen Silence.'
Sisir’s sensitivity as a sculptor explores deeper than the labyrinth of organic forms that serenade in a maze of metamorphic world titled ‘Herbs Within.' The dexterity and skill of medium acquired through practice and international exposure engages perception from the viewer. Mastering mind over matter, light and space reveal the organic interfaces that are important aesthetic objects in their own right. Poetry and verse take on a new meaning with his lyrical shapes that converse with light and are bathed in a translucency that mystifies the optical illusion. The kaleidoscope of colours that emerges within the looking glass rhythmically swims in a foetus that inspires to interact, heightening the sensory nerves to touch and tap the energy.
Cast and flamed glass allows an infinite number of different trajectories to flow through them, connecting multiple domains. The journey is ultimately planned by the viewer.
